Selfcheck Menopause Test
The SELFCHECK® Menopause Test detects elevated FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) levels in urine. In women over 45, menopause can often be diagnosed by a doctor without tests.
An FSH test is most useful for women under the age of 45 who are experiencing menopause symptoms, or when menopause is suspected.
Two tests are provided, to be used one week apart. Only if both tests are positive should menopause be considered.
The test is calibrated to international standard WHO 08/282, has a cut-off of 25mIU/mL, and shows 94% agreement with hospital tests for FSH.

The SELFCHECK®
Menopause Test is a medical diagnostic device for home use which is CE certified and MHRA registered for self-testing.
Simple Steps to Take Your Test
Using the SELFCHECK® Menopause FSH Test is straightforward:
1. Familiarise yourself with the instructions provided in the kit
2. Collect a urine sample in a clean, dry container, or hold the absorbent tip directly in your urine stream (midstream) as per the instructions
3. Insert the absorbent tip of the test stick into the urine sample for the time specified, or continue holding in the urine stream
4. Remove the test stick and lay it flat
5. Read your result after 10 minutes as indicated in the instructions
Interpreting Your Results
The test window will show lines indicating your result:
Positive Result (Elevated FSH): If two coloured lines appear, with the test line being as dark as or darker than the control line, this indicates elevated FSH levels. This suggests you may be in perimenopause or menopause.
Negative Result (Normal FSH): If only the control line appears, or the test line is lighter than the control line, your FSH levels are likely within the normal range. Your symptoms may be due to other causes.
Important Information
- Most doctors can diagnose menopause in women who are 45 years or older without the need for a follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) test
- Levels of FSH can fluctuate, which is why the test contains two tests to be used on two different occasions, and only if both tests show raised levels of FSH should menopause be considered
- You must not change your medication, contraception or lifestyle until you have had menopause confirmed by your doctor
- It is recommended to take the test using your first morning urine as it typically contains the highest concentration of FSH
- A positive result indicates elevated FSH levels but is not a definitive diagnosis of menopause on its own
- If you are experiencing symptoms, regardless of your test result, or if you have any concerns about menopause or your hormonal health, we strongly recommend consulting your GP or a healthcare professional for advice and diagnosis
- This test is not a substitute for a medical diagnosis from a healthcare professional
